Are you in the mood for a meal that’s out of the ordinary? Buckle up and hit the road to Sheep Mountain Lodge. Tucked away in the Alaska wilderness, this rural restaurant in Alaska isn’t just about fantastic food – it’s the whole experience. Surrounded by the kind of views that postcards wish they could capture, this place has a down-to-earth vibe and a passion for serving up fresh, local eats. Every dish here tastes like Alaska – authentic, hearty, and delicious. It’s one of my favorite spots on the Glenn Highway!
If you're up for an adventure with a side of stunning landscapes, head to Sheep Mountain Lodge in Glacier View.
This rural restaurant in Alaska is waiting for you! From May 19th to September 15th, they open their doors bright and early at 8:00 am and keep welcoming folks until 9:00 pm. If you're planning a winter escape, they offer breakfast and dinner straight to your room.
Now, let's talk food, because that's my favorite part.
Imagine pulling apart warm, freshly baked bread or diving into a bowl of homemade soup. Their specials are legendary; think fresh Alaska seafood and desserts that'll make you want to skip the main course.

They're big on keeping ingredients local at Sheep Mountain Lodge.
The carrots? Grown in Matanuska Valley. The rhubarb? Hand-picked. And the salmon? It couldn't be fresher if it jumped onto your plate itself. They believe the closer the food is grown to your fork, the better it tastes.
They've got a great collection of brews from Alaskan Brewing Co., plus a mix of international beers and domestic wines. Pair it with fresh seafood options, like the Halibut Tacos.
And for a truly Alaskan adventure, how about a meal right on top of Matanuska Glacier?
Partnering with Sheep Mountain Air, they offer breakfast or lunch flights to Matanuska Glacier. It’s not often that you get to eat your meal with such an epic backdrop.
And after you've eaten your fill, why not make a holiday of it?
Whether you’re looking to explore the great outdoors or just need a peaceful retreat, this little lodge is the perfect spot to relax. Come for the food, stay for the adventure!
